Question

Paramagnetic?? Wht does it mean ??? *in chemistry

Answer 1

The tendency of magnetic dipoles to align with an external magnetic field; materials that exhibit this tendency become temporary magnets.

Answer 2

Paramagnetism is a form of magnetism whereby certain materials are attracted by an externally applied magnetic field, and form internal, induced magnetic fields in the direction of the applied magnetic field. In contrast with this behavior, diamagnetic materials are repelled by magnetic fields and form induced magnetic fields in the direction opposite to that of the applied magnetic field.
